Believe me, my young friend (said the water rat, solemnly), there
is nothing - absolutely nothing - half as much worth doing as simply
messing about in boats. Simply messing about. Nothing seems really to
matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away or whether you
don't, whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach
somewhere else, or whether you get anywhere at all, you're always
busy, and you never do anything in particular.
